About this episode
Adam Cooper discusses his journey from journeyman electrician to founding Ascent Consulting and the systems that help contractors scale.

Adam Cooper spent 20 years inside the largest electrical contractors in the country before founding Ascent to bring that behind-the-curtain playbook to the mid-market. In this episode: why your problems aren't unique, why the owner is usually the bottleneck, and the view of how a real construction business runs.
